The Avenues | Industrial Complex | Retreat, Cape Town
Property Overview
The Avenues is a well-established multi-unit industrial complex situated at 73-79 7th Avenue in Retreat, one of Cape Town's most practical and accessible light-industrial suburbs. Comprising seven sectional title units ranging from approximately 90 m² to 150 m², the complex offers businesses a functional and secure base from which to operate within the Southern Suburbs industrial corridor.
The development is well-suited to the broad range of light-industrial, trade, and small-business operators that have long been drawn to Retreat for its central positioning between the city and the southern peninsula. The unit sizes on offer strike a balance between compact efficiency and meaningful operational space, making The Avenues an attractive proposition for owner-occupiers and investors alike.
With sectional title ownership available, the complex presents a genuine opportunity for businesses to secure their own premises rather than remain subject to the rental market — a consideration of growing importance in the current commercial property environment.

Retreat's sustained demand as a light-industrial suburb, underpinned by its location and accessibility, supports ongoing occupancy and rental performance. The relatively compact unit sizes broaden the pool of potential occupiers, reducing vacancy risk and increasing the development's appeal to a wider market of small and medium-sized enterprises.
